Radiation shielding performance of metal oxides/EPDM rubber composites using Geant4 simulation and computational study

Abstract This paper aimed to evaluate the shielding performance of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber composites filled with 200 phr of different metal oxides (either Al2O3, CuO, CdO, Gd2O3, or Bi2O3) as protective materials against gamma and neutron radiations. For this purpose, differe...
